Police clearance certificate for UK

grimsby · Oct 8th, 2009, 23:48

Dear all,
I reside in Bangalore. I have been offered to produce PCC for my employment in UK. Can I obtain one from Police commissioners's office? Is it acceptable in UK?

I heard they take a long time to issue from Passport office, and keep the passport with them. I do want to apply for visa in the meanwhile, do not want to surrender the passport.

I had travelled for few months abroad for visiting, in the last one year. Does that need to be mentioned in application form? How do I issue the residence proof for such long period?

Any advice is appreciated and thanks in advance.

It's not quite clear who wants the PCC. Is it your potential employer in the UK? It isn't required to apply for a UK visa so if someone has told you it's needed for this, be wary. If it is the employer then why not double check exactly what they need - most likely they want to check you don't have a police record.

When you talk about application form I assume you mean for the PCC?
